Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Using Ubuntu 12.04.2. I like to listen to a local radio station. All
previous versions have been OK. But now from the stations web site going to "listen Live" and clicking it goes to: http://stream.mediatechusa.com:8080/WFOY
How to trace what program(s) is called from here.
On my laptop the program works correctly.
Thanks

Using Firefox. Everything is up to date. This has been a problem to me
as I have installed Ubuntu 12.04.2 from a full system online upgrade from
10.04 as well as from an ISO. My laptop has 12.04 from an ISO which was
made shortly after the release. I have found many 'lib' items missing
from the 12.04.2 versions.
thanks

The Adobe Reader plugin is used to enable viewing of PDF and FDF files from within the browser.

yes, it stops for me too. It is not called from that url, but invoked by the browser you have. I tried to open that url in VNC and that worked for me (media, open network stream), but first it will be redirected to mmsh://stream.mediatechusa.com:8080/WFOY?MSWMExt=.asf. So it will be played as an asf file
